Mysterious Laugh

You can trigger the first by dying, after which you will be mocked. This laugh plays the first time you die and only you will hear it. It plays once per player per game.

[NOTE: As of the 6/2 PBE Update this laugh no longer triggers on death.]

Another laugh will play when you go in the river and do an emote laugh - something will laugh back.

There are a total of FIVE different laugh variations in the files.

Summoner's Rift Team Banners

If you remember them from the 2015 URF Showmatch, we have another set of in-game banners summoner's rift in today's update. Included are a banner for for each of the ten NA LCS teams. If I had to guess, I'd wager these are likely to be used during LCS matches. No details announced yet.

For reference since these assets are not normally enabled on Summoner's Rift, here is what the banners looked during the URF showmatch:

Vilemaw Timer on Twisted Treeline

Similar to the timer for Dragon and Baron on Summoner's Rift, a timer has been added for Vilemaw on Twisted Treeline.

Miscellaneous

Rather than just allies, enemies can now see your Mastery badge emotes!

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.

With the R leveling passively, Jayce now has 3 extra ability points total and can now rank up his abilities a total of SIX times. While some of the ability scalings have been tweaked, largely the rank 6 numbers are higher than rank 5 values on live.
